Geological Information

Geological Information of Azurite, Chrysocolla, K2, Malachite

• Copper is considered toxic so best used in polished form and never place in water to create elixirs.
• Often the three interlace with one another in specimens.
• Type: Mineral

Azurite (Chessylite)

• Copper mineral used as blue pigment for paint - more geological information.
• The rough is delicate and needs careful handling so not for young children. Azurite is also incompatible with aquatic media, such as saltwater aquariums. Azurite is unstable in open air and may change to malachite.

• Class: Carbonates
• Mohr Hardness: 3.5 - 4
• Crystal System: Monoclinic
• Formula: Cu₃(CO₃)₂(OH)₂
• Crystal Habit: Massive, prismatic, stalactitic, tabular Massive, botryoidal, stalactitic, crystals are acicular to tabular prismatic
• Lustre / Diaphaneity: Vitreous, Transparent to translucent
• Colour: Azure-blue, Berlin blue, very dark to pale blue; pale blue in transmitted light

Malachite

• Malachite often results from the weathering of copper ores, and is often found together with azurite , goethite, and calcite.
• Mined for copper in Ancient Israel and Britain.
• Very soft and easy to damage the crystals unless polished to stabilise - handle with care.
• Read more geological information on malachite here.
• As malachite has become scarce and therefore expensive, reconstituted / synthetic forms as now appearing in shops. Identification - no delicacy in the inter-layering of colours, cheap price and feels plasticy.

• Mohrs Hardness: (2 - 4)

• Formula: Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂.
• Habit: Massive, botryoidal, stalactitic, crystals are acicular to tabular prismatic
• Lustre / Diaphaneity: Vitreous/Silky/Dull. Translucent to opaque
• Colour: Bright green, dark green, blackish green, commonly banded in masses; green to yellowish green in transmitted light

Chrysocolla

• Forms in the oxidation zones of copper ore bodies.
• Also found with the green/browns of Cuprite or emerald green of dioptase
• Very flaky unless polished to stabilise - handle with care.

• Mineral Class: Silicates
• System: Orthorhombic
• Mohrs Hardness: 2.5-3.5 and up to 7 if with quartz
• Formula: Cu_2−xAl_x(H_2−xSi₂O₅)(OH)₄·nH₂O (x<1)^[1] or (Cu,Al)₂H₂Si₂O₅(OH)₄·nH₂O.
• Habit: Massive, nodular, botryoidal
• Luster/Diaphaneity: Vitreous to dull, Translucent to opaque
